After this past year's events I would love to try this foreign concept of "bored out of my mind". LOL

Love the idea of the 510 connector to make it easier to build on. Great job!

I do realize there are many who enjoy blowing clouds. The point I was trying to make, and you evidently missed, is that not "everyone" or even "most everyone" (as you asserted), has to gravitate toward cloud blowing just because they took up vaping. Some people do and they enjoy it. Great. More power to them, I just hope they're taking the proper safety precautions. Others might not feel the need nor want to blow clouds even if they can. That's why there are tanks, RDAs, RBAs, RTAs, atomizers, cartomizers and a whole host of different delivery systems available. Isn't it great that we can like what we like and not have to do what "everyone" else does?

In my opinion, your statement above is over generalizing your belief of what "most" vapers want, what "most everyone" comes to experience. You might want to amend that to say, "most people that I know" or "most everyone within my scope of acquaintance." Otherwise, I would ask you for the concrete numbers from research, statistics, analysis, etc. Vaping is an extremely personal and individualistic experience. Everyone wants something different, something unique to their own preferences, it's not an all or nothing endeavor. Painting "everyone" with the same brush would make vaping very dull. It's the differences, the different likes and dislikes that make vaping fun. I think it's great that blowing big clouds makes you happy, but it's not something that "everyone" or even "most everyone" enjoys or needs. We all have our reasons to vape, it's subjective for everyone that I've ever come across either in person or online. As long as it keeps people from analogs, I think that's really all that matters.

Thank you for the consideration, Lord knows I need the rest. The "beauty" part didn't kick in, unfortunately.

You guys are funny. And so sweet to try to help someone so quickly.

There are a few members who are into clouds but not that many. Most of us are more into getting off analogs and staying off and helping noobs to do the same.

I second Jeff's request for a pic. Your description just doesn't give us enough information for us to be able to give you accurate information.

Now that there is one, what all do you have planned to do with it?

The more and longer you vape the more your taste buds will come back. Smoking tobacco cigarettes screws with our sense of taste and smell due to all the carcinogens. Getting off analogs will revitalize your sense of smell thus revitalizing your sense of taste. In the next month or so, especially if you get totally off cigarettes, you'll notice all kinds of new smells and flavors. Things you used to love will no longer hold the same appeal due to your senses changing. Things you may not have liked so much before will become the best thing ever due to your sense of taste and smell coming back. If you're still craving cigarettes, it's probably due to your nic level. 6 mg is very low for most who are getting off cigarettes. Most do best at 18 - 24 mg to start. Once they get off the cigarettes for a week or more, then start dropping the nic level a little at a time. Even after all this time I keep juices from 24 all the way down to 0, it all depends on what I want/need for that time. When I can't vape very often I'll hit the 24 mg so I can take a couple of puffs and get the nic I need. If I'm at home and chain vaping I'll go down to 6 mg or even sometimes down to 0 mg. An hour or two before bedtime I'll also decrease the nic level so I can sleep better. Of course your mileage may vary.

After refilling, do you check to make sure the coil didn't come loose when you unscrewed the base? I've had problems with it before so thought I'd ask. Whenever I refill, I unscrew the coil, clean it up a bit, blow through the chimney, rinse the base without the coil, replace the coil making sure it's seated properly, and then put it back together.

*leans forward toward Bebop* Okay, you can slap my forehead too. What did you use to clean the chimneys? They're so small, I can't imagine a brush that's small enough to fit...

We were lost? Welcome to Vapor Talk.

Moved. Not sure how to answer your other question, it sounds like something that Chris will have to address.

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

I still keep a couple of 5-packs of BOGE atomizers around as back ups should I run out of my supply of HH.357s. The one HH.357 that I use for fruit juices has been working well over a year now, but then again it doesn't get as much of a workout like the ones I use for my ADV.

You could always direct drip with a prebuilt atomizer, that would be a cheaper alternative and much less expensive. There is a learning curve in how to use these successfully, but it's less of a learning curve than learning all about Ohm's Law, getting an RDA, wire, wick, ohm meter, torch, etc. http://www.vapelite.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22_47&products_id=62 This is one that I learned on. These days I use an RDA but mostly, I use the Cisco Spec Hybrid HH.357 atomizers: http://www.avidvaper.com/hh-357-cisco-spec-hybrid-atomizers/ The HH.357s are not what I'd call "affordable" at a minimum of $22 each whereas the first link's atomizer is $2.50 each but you also get what you pay for.

Yeah, we'll need light to make sure we hit what we're aiming for.

And I'll just be over here ---> sharpening the tines on my pitchfork.

I'm going to be banned from Arby's when I break out in hysterical laughter that won't stop next time I try to order curly fries...

If you were to buy this, it would be buying new but I'm not sure what you mean by a "new unit." If you bought the Vision Spinner II, all that comes with it is the battery, no charger or anything else. The Nautilus mini is the tank and it comes with two vertical coils at 1.8 ohms. I would suggest you buy at least one 5-pack of replacement coils at 1.8 ohms. You already have a charger for your other battery, that will work with the Spinner BUT I would buy another charger just to make sure it's not the charger that's at fault with your current set up but that's just me. Anything else? Yes. I would invest in some quality juice in at least a 50/50 blend. If you're wanting more vapor, go with a 40/60 (PG is most often the first number / VG the second) but no more than 30/70. May I suggest a quality vendor for all of this? Go with the Vapor Talk store for the hardware. For what we've been talking about, the VT store has some of the lowest prices online, genuine name brands, and excellent customer service. Just for the record, I'm not an employee or anything of the store, just a very satisfied repeat customer. For juices, you can't go wrong with Fadora Vapor. Compenstine is the owner and, as you've seen on this thread, he will bend over backwards to help get you the most accurate information and help with whatever you order from his store. He also happens to make some of the most delicious juices I've tasted. Check out the testimonials under the e-liquid reviews area of the forum. While the VT store sells Fadora liquids, the ratio there is fixed at 70 PG/30 VG. If you go to Fadora's online store at http://fadoravapor.com/you can customize the juice any way you want it. Comp won't steer you wrong.

Looks like we're on the same page, Jason. LOL

I would give the Aspire Nautilus mini a try. It comes with two extra vertical coils at 1.8 ohms. With our Twist, that should work well to give you a good vape and vapor as long as your juice is right. What PG/VG ratio of juice are you using? I'd go with at least a 50 PG/50 VG or max 30 PG/70 VG. The higher the VG, the more vapor you get. Keep in mind that the higher the VG, the less flavor because PG is the flavor carrier. I regularly vape at 50/50 and can still fog up the home office.

^^^^ What Comp said. Also, be aware that too much VG content and it'll gunk up your coil faster and make it hard for the wick to absorb the liquid so you'll get more dry hits. I wouldn't go any more the 70 VG if you're using a tank with any kind of coil.
